the cider will be fine keep it cool ,or check bottle to for pressure build up if not chilled . David and i had a blast, not sleeping a wink. all fish caught in 4-to 8 f.o.w. ,tried the channel 17' and nothing, eel is the money. We both want to come to piketoberfest,as long as the wife is willing to part with me ,while open water fishing is still non frozen I will be in touch . Thanks Matt and everyone . If i go on the 13th i will bring more ''hooch''.
